I am a PhD candidate in Physiology and Pathophysiology. During my thesis, I studied the impact of maternal hypercholesterolemia on atherosclerosis development in offspring of ApoE deficient mice and have showed the effectiveness of maternal treatment with a cholesterol-lowering drug and/or an antioxidant molecule durant gestation or gestation and lactation in atherosclerosis prevention in adult offspring. We are currently studying the effect of these same treatments on placental functions in order to explain our observations. This work is part of the Developmental Origins Of Health and Disease (DOHad) and aims to help atherosclerosis prevention from early stages of life.
